We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Kelly Wright. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Kelly below.
Kelly , we’re thrilled to have you sharing your thoughts and lessons with our community. So, for folks who are at a stage in their life or career where they are trying to be more resilient, can you share where you get your resilience from?
Life is not always smooth sailing. We are often faced with storm tossed seas that threaten to drown us in a sea of despair, leaving our dreams shipwrecked. For the challenges that I face, I place all of my trust in God. Exercising my belief and trust in God enables me to persevere and endure the tough times. It produces the kind of resilience to overcome my setbacks.
Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
Hello, my name is Kelly Wright. I’m a journalist, recording artist, speaker, author, and minister. I am the host and executive producer of a new television show, “America’s Hope with Kelly Wright.” America is divided as never before. Where can we find hope? How can we return to the values outlined by our Founding Fathers? I am constantly searching for people from different backgrounds to find the answer. I believe the greatness of America is found in the hearts of the American people. The show airs on NTD News, Epoch TV, and YouTube.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
For me, the top three qualities that continue to positively impact my life’s journey are faith, hope, and love. Therefore, I seek to use my journalistic skills to actively listen, and then write and report on the stories that go beyond the daily news cycle of bad news. These virtues have been the bedrock of telling stories that provide good news that is uplifting and inspiring. I seek to encourage people to adopt faith in God, hope over despair, and love over hate in their life’s journey.
Okay, so before we go, is there anyone you’d like to shoutout for the role they’ve played in helping you develop the essential skills or overcome challenges along the way?
I’m forever grateful to my mother, June Lorraine Overton Wright. She was the most helpful in helping me overcome many challenges from childhood to manhood. She helped prepare my mind and spirit for achieving my goals in my life and career. I miss her constant love and inspiration. Another important person who helped me overcome challenges is my wife, Loretta Lynn Wright, along with my children. Together, they have helped to encourage and motivate me to persevere through difficult trials and overcome many obstacles. My wife and mother notwithstanding, I must acknowledge that God is the greatest person who has been helpful. In life, we all need sources for our growth. For me, God is the ultimate source of all my spiritual, mental, and physical development. Jesus sets the greatest example by instructing us to Love God with all of our hearts, souls, and minds. Plus, to love our neighbor as we love ourselves, and to even love and pray for our enemies. An illustration of that is found in the life of King David, who overcame so many trials, worry, and doubt, but he writes in Psalm 9, how he overcame every obstacle; “I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done. I will be filled with joy because of you.” Furthermore,
As I consider the setbacks, failures, and victories that I have experienced, I am left with one conclusion; “this is the Lord’s doing, and it’s marvelous.”
